I have two Morgans and a SR
saddle for each one. Naturally, their backs are really different from each
other. Wonderful saddle, very comfortable for both my boys and for
me.
Finally found a saddle that appears to fit my Morgan! Chiro
came out and agreed it seems to be a good fit. SO far no soreness on the
mare and chiro will come out next week after a week of hard riding to
check for any possible soreness. The saddle is a Crates endurance saddle.
I'm not crazy about it cuz of the weight and I prefer an english type
saddle but my mare comes first. I've tried at least 15 saddles on
this mare.
Now...the problem...(of course there had to be one). I am in
lots of pain after about an hour in this saddle. My knees hurt and my feet
get numb. Yesterday after doing 6 miles of hills I was very sore...when I
dismounted my knees gave out and I almost fell down! Had to lean on the
horse a minute.
I've tried adjusting the stirrups both up and down, and
I use EZ ride stirrups. I take riding lessons and am not bracing. I've
been riding since I was 12. I always tend to get more sore in western type
saddles.
